Thailand Chaiprakarn Black Honey

Tasting Notes Molasses and dried fruit in the aroma. A tart cranberry-like acidity with flavors of star anise and tamarind fading to chocolate in the finish   Background Info This coffee is processed by a veteran in the coffee industry, Noi Duongdee (39), who has been working as a coffee processor for over 10 years. Noi has worked with one of the pioneer mills in the Thai coffee specialty industry for many years before venturing out to start his own coffee processing plant in Chaiprakarn, Chiang Mai.For this coffee, the cherries are harvested throughout the day and rested for one night in cool temperature before being pulped in the morning. The delayed pulping with a controlled temperature helps add complexity to the coffee. After the coffee is pulped, the coffee is then dried on a patio covered with plastic sheets for cleanliness in the drying process.  The drying process took up to 25 days. When the moisture is at 10-12%, the coffee is then cured in hermetic bags for 2 months before
